Bridge Map Kickstarter

Mary's River

This project for the MRWC council involved the production of an easily updateable and customizable series of web maps for the new MRWC website. The site is not yet live, but the testing version is shown above. More details and a link to the open source code are available here. What makes this project special is that the visible layers, extent, and pop-up display are easily customizable in a configuration file, and can be further refined using URL variables. This blog post has more information.

Missoula Flood Quilt Square

This map is part of a larger "map quilt" of Portland, Or. Each cartographer was given a square and asked to map it in any way they wanted to. I used photoshop and historical data to make a map of the area during the Missoula Floods between 13k and 15k years ago. More about this map and the floods can be found here.

PDX TriMet Monsters

This map was made as an experiment with animation and icon rotation to a specific bearing. The map shows Potland's bus and MAX trains as sasquathes and sea monsters moving through the city. Visit the Live Site. More information on the project is available in this blog post.
